Care of the Kerosene Lamp.

=-a-=@-y-r;ltstt-zl~ lamps? you ask. win tell you, if you would like to know. Now, with the best oil that is made you can produce a gas in your house that will make the atmosphere as disagreeable as it is unhealthy. In all lamps, where proper and complete com bustion is maintained, there is no per ceptible odor from any quality of oil sold in the market But the trouble is, when people want to leave house or room for a time and keep light burning, they turn down the wick. This is done for economy i'll most instances, but there is not only no economy in it, as I shall show you, but there is also danger to health and life. Now, when you light a lamp, there is at first 6 time when the flame will not burn high without smoking; but after the lamp and chimney are properly heated and full supply of oil is estab- Iished through the capillaries of the wick strong flame can be maintained. Now if, with this supply established, we turn down the wick, while there is a limit to the flame of the wick, owing to it's de- crease of burning surface, the supply of oil continues ill the same ratio, what is lsct consumed in the flame being volatil ized into gas, which is carried out with the ordinary products of combustion into the air of the room, vitiating it and mak ing it very unhealthy to breathe.
 Now here. in my opinion, is the basis of lamp explosions, and if the proper pro- portion of atmospheric air gets into a chimney, or . blown into it, an explosion is sure to result. In my opinion, most of the explosions of lamps, 50 called, occur by explosions in the chimneys. A lamp should never be turned down. It should never be put out by blowing down the chimney. It can be easily extingllished by simply blowing across the top of the chimney, and very little practice will show that this is the easiest and best way. After blowing out, the wick should be turned down inside the tube, to prevent the oil flowing over. A close attention 1 to the methods I have indicated wifi, l am sure, prevent most, if not all, the acA ! dents from explosions of kerosene oil, aSd save many lives, as well as many thou sands of dollars worth of property every year.-Boston Herald.

Deterioration of the nIenta1 Faculties.

Deterioration of the Mental Faculties.
 There is as much danger of hurting the brain by idleness as by overwork. Dr. Farquharson argues that intellectual power is lessened by the hstlessness in which the well to do classes generally spend their lives. Under such conditions the brain gradually loses it's health, and, although equal to the demands of a routine existence, is unable to withstand the strain of sudden emergency. So, when a load of wce'k is unexpectedly thrown on it in its unprepared state, the worst consequences of what may be called overwork show themselves. Similarly, a man accustomed to sedentary pursuits is liable to be physically injured by taking suddenly too violent exercise.
 As to the amount of mental work that may safely be done, Dr. Farquharson says: ''So long as brain worker is able to sleep well, to eat well, and to take a fair proportion of outdoor exercise, it may safely be said that it is not necessary to impose any special limits on tho actual number of hours which he devotes to his labors. But when what is generally known as worry steps i'll to complicatc matters, when cares connected with family arrangements, or with those numerous personal details which we can seldom escape, intervene, or when the daily oc- cupation of life is in itself a fertile source of anxiety, then VIC find one or other oi these three safeguards broken down.

NieoIini at Vocal Prartice.

When Mime. Patti is a guest at the Windsor, people passing the door of her apartments are occasionally startled by a series of nasal quacks, if they can be so described terminating in a vocal tone that gradually becomes clear and power ful. The first impression produced on the listener is that some foreign fowl is essaying its vocal powers, but later developments and inquiry make known that the strange sounds are produced by Signor Nicolini at practice. Signor Nico- lini begins by directing his tones toward the head. and, having .'placed' them properly, sustaiils and strengthens them. In this method he attributes the preserva- tion of his voice, which most tenors who sing wholly from the chest would long since have ruined by incautious use.-- New York Sun.

Farming Under Difficulties.

In narrative of Lord McCartney's s embassy to China. it is related that his lordship's attendants, ill passing through part of that empire, saw man culti- vating the side of a precipice, and on ex- animation they found he had a rope fas- tened around his waist, which was se- cured at the top of the mountain, and by which he let himself down to any part of the precipice where few yards of avail able ground gave him encouragement to plant his vegetables and his corn. The whole of the cultivated spots, which were at some distance from each other. ap- peared to be not more than half an acre, and near the bottom of precipice, on a hillock, he had a little hut.-American Agriculturist.

Riches and Folly,

The "gilded youth" of our great cities grow weary of balls, of steam yachts. of even the theatres, gambling and drink Their jaded appetites crave stronger diet. In the great centers of riches and folly some of them crowd in the small hours of the morning to dens unknown to the police, to see brutal combats between prize fighters. At a recent fight between woman and a dog, the ring was sur rounded by men worth millions.
 s'The only real sensation I have en- joyed for yehrs,'' said one of this class lately, twas in China last July, when I saw the executioner chop off five heads in an hour. :"
 At heart, these lads are made of as good. manly stuff as others. They are victims to the popular idea that the sole use of money is amusement. Even when weighted by huge fortune as Napoleon Bonaparte once wrote to his marshal, Surely, we should endeavor to do some. thing; to say that we have lived; to leave some impress of our lives upon the sands of time.

\ Story of NicksburS.

Here is story with the scene laid in Vicksburg. It was while I was in Ficks- burg starving on pea bread and dodging the Yankee shells. was detailed to go to the commissary to do some work. The boys made it part of their work to slip something more than was given to them when they went to the commissary, and it was always something to eat, which they would divide with us I thought that as it had come my time to go l would be as good as they had been, if the opportunity afforded That we were watched you need not doubt, and that there was reason for stealing need not deny. But it makes mo feel like sheep thief vet, when I think of it.
 When l was i'll tho commiSsarv. 1 could see nothing open but barrel of crackers. I could get to nothing better and con cluded to talo good supply of them. In walking about the commissarv made it convenient to go by the barrel of hard tacks and slip handful in my bosom. always watching the comnissarv ser geant. worked hard when he was looking at me. 1 never once thought about how many of the crackers 1 was getting into my bosom. never noticed that my shirt body was growing to an enormous size. I was thinking of the SUD- per that tho boys would have that night. Suddenly the bottom part of my shirt slipped out from under the waistband of my pants The sergeant was looking at me. The situation l was in can only be imagined. 1 was excited, and 1t seemed to mo that there was a bushel of the alarmed things spilled around mo, lThc sergeant simply said: You had sup ply and passed on.-J.

AN ESSAY ON MAN.
Written from the Standpoint of a Student
 of Vassar College.

Written from the Standpoint of a Student
 of Vassar College.
 Men are peculiar; they wear No. 10 boots and snore. This is what makes 1t easy to recognize man when you see one. Men wear hats they are careful of and carry umbrellas they are not careful of; when not losing them they are always polling them into somebody $ eyes. Men 1on't gossip, but they go to their clubs and talk over tho ''news.'' Men don't paint or powder (often), but they raise whiskers that make them look like Scotch terriers, and coax little hair moles to grow on their chins. Men are not vain, but they never like the young lady who says they are not handsome.
 Men are consistent They like to see the dress of lady plain and sensible, ''hate furbelows and fiummery, but let a lady in 'splain, sensible dress enter a car where these men are seated and she may stand an hour and not one of them offer her a seat, but when lady enters arrayed in the height of fashion every one of them will spring to his feet and glory in the honor of standing for her sake, or rather for the sake of her clothes. Men never find fault with themselves, not if they can help it. Adam showed them how they could help. it, and they have profited by his instruction. Men take cold and think they are going to die, and when you carry them bowl of herb tea they turn pale and ask you if it i5 bit ter and if you don't suppose it would do just as well to take it next week.
 Men don't lead around a poodle dog with blue ribbon, but they chew tobacco and perfume their clothes with pipe. Men are always wanting clean shirt, and when they get one they are always ready to swear that there is not a button on it, when all the time the buttons will 5e there, only they can't find them. Men can never find anything. They pull off their boots and forget where they put them, and pretend they remember just all about it, and after they have rum maged around and turned everything up- side down, and looked on all the shelves in the pantry, in the sewing machine drawer, and upset your work basket, sit down and remark that this Is deuce of a house, a fellow never knows when he gets out of thing when he is going to set eyes on it again; and when you bring HIS UOotS; tHdt you HtNe 10uilu IlSHt where he left them, he hands you his slippers and wants to know if you ''can't iab them into some out of the way corner where the old Scratch would never look for 'em''
 Men think they know a lot, and they do sometimes. Men are trouble, but they are handy to have in the house in a thunder shower, or when the wind blows, and they are not afraid of mice. l know this is true, because once saw two men chase Q mouse around a room for an hour (more or lessl and neither appeared to be in the least alarmed. Toward the close of the chase one of the men stopped to wipe his brow and remarked that it was warm-an exceedingly cold observa- ton. in my opinion, as it was cold and comfortable up on the head of the lounge

The Conductor,s Reply.

The tram hands on the Boston and Maine, when a train is entering the Bos- ton depot, call, Boston; this train goes no further This is a thoughtful pro- vision that prevents passengers being carried by Boston. That it is not un- called for is shown by an incident that happened the other day, when an elderly traveller asked of the conductor, in ap- parent good faith: Does this train stop at Boston?'' The conductor said it did when they had passengers for that sta tion.-Boston Transcript.

 '.Thesc are the ashes of child about or years old. They were left in charge of the society by the parents, who were going out of the city, and had no safe place to bestow them.

Love has wings as light as bird, Guileless he looks, as 6 dove, of wrong, Whatever his song, be it brief or long, It still has this for an overword:
 Love has wings Though to-day the truant may stay, Though he wooes and sues and sings Only sorrow to maids he brings; Pout him and flout him, laugh him away:
 Love has wingsl Hold your pulses calm, unstirred- Calm and cool as woodland pool Let not his song your heart hefool, List, through it all, for the overword:
 Love has wings! Alice Williams Brotherton in The Century.
